A recent powerful blog post (see below) against internal meta-analysis prompts me to ask the question above. (Actually, Steve Lindsay prompted me to write this post; thanks Steve.) In ITNS we say, on p. 243: “To carry out a meta-analysis…

Eating Disorders Research: Open Science and The New Statistics
I’m in Sydney, the great Manly surf beach just over the road. It’s an easy ferry ride to the Opera House and city centre. Lindy and I started this trip up from Melbourne with a few days with a cousin,…
Cochrane: Matthew Page Wins the Prize!
Years ago, Matthew Page was a student in the School of Psychological Science at La Trobe University (in Melbourne), working with Fiona Fidler and me. He somehow (!) became interested in research methods and practices, especially as related to meta-analysis.…
Draw Pictures to Improve Learning?
In ITNS we included a short section near the start describing good strategies for learning, based on empirical studies. Scattered through the book are reminders and encouragement to use the effective strategies. Now, just as we’re thinking about possible improvements…
ITNS–The Second Edition!
Routledge, our publisher, has started planning for a second edition. That’s very exciting news! The only problem is that Bob and I can’t think of anything that needs improving. Ha! But, seriously, we’d love to hear from you about things…
Open Science DownUnder — Fiona Fidler reports
Last week, the 2018 Australasian Open Science Conference was held in Brisbane at the University of Queensland: The first conference in Oz on the themes of Open Science and how to improve how science is done. They expected 40 and…
Studying statistical cognition is essential for improving rigor and reproducibility. You can participate! Here's a link to a short study of statistical cognition: https://t.co/EKAAdbkQUN

Finally had time to check out @russpoldrack on reproducibility in neuroscience:
“First, we must acknowledge that we have a problem, and that all of our careers have benefitted from the research practices that we now realize to be questionable.”
Amen.

Thanks, Nick! It was great to visit with the MCB grad students and postdocs. Lots of energy for planning strong research.
Went to a phenomenal seminar about sample-size planning by Bob Calin-Jageman @TheNewStats. I have a LOT of work to do in how to plan experiments and determine relevance (not P values!) of results. He would make a great speaker at any department! Check out https://t.co/U5Ztw630a0
New preprint.
Adversarial team collaborated to specify when facial feedback effects should most reliably emerge. 2 pilots revealed evidence for the facial feedback hypothesis. Next, 18 labs (17 countries) will test whether these findings are replicable.

Oh sh-t. Why can't we have nice things?
The study showing handwritten notes are superior to typed notes fails to replicate https://t.co/2RdBOwVh9O
In my first pre-print, working with @lakens we present 2 methods from clinical/health research & show how they can be used in basic psych research to determine the smallest noticeable change/difference & thus the SESOI for research questions interested in noticeable change. 1/2 https://t.co/udPb9UomF1
